(S)-4-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-methoxy-prop-1-ynyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester → (S)-4-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-methoxy-propyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-4-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-methoxy-prop-1-ynyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.50 g) in ethyl acetate (100 ml) at room temperature was added platinum(IV) oxide monohydrate (484 mg). The mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1 atm) at room temperature for 1 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield (S)-4-[3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-methoxy-propyl]-2,2-dimethyl-oxazolidine-3-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester as a light yellow oil (1.57 g, 62%); MS (ISP): 386.2 ([{37Cl}M+H]+), 384.2 ([{35Cl}M+H]+).
